I received mine on Friday and got it all put together yesterday. All I can say is wow, this is thing just looks so good and has such a nice presence....my wife was even impressed and that is saying a lot!!! The lights are the best I have seen on any stock plane. Great quality and the best build I have had to date. I installed an A3 Super II stabilizer on mine as I deal with a decent amount of wind in my area and have started putting them in my planes with great results.. Hope to maiden it this coming weekend!!

Great looking jet,finish was excellent, build was perhaps the easiest of 30 plus builds. Went black on the canopy like a previous post,wow does it make her "pop". Only question I have is that my manual states 55mm on flap high rate w/2mm mix down, 23mm on low rate w/1mm mix down have you guys with them in the air found the flap settings correct? 55mm looks near 80° and the flap is very near the end of its travel measured from bottom of wing to bottom of flapTE.Still flying P.15, avanti(#2), mig 21, yak 130 70mm(#2), f35, f9f panther, a10 64mm, F8 crusader/ PA ultimate amr /HK skipper, durafly dh vampire, p 51,spit mk24, corsair, flybeam/ BH f86 50mm, deltawing 50mm/ HH su 26 mm,umx pitts,umx sbach, blade nano cp s,blade 450x, inductrix 200, inductrix pro, umx yak 54,umx f27 fpv/ electrifly 4s L39/ flyzone beaver/ volantix asw 28, /dynam B26

Thanks, Mike Then for taking the video! I'm the pilot. Yes. I'm usually more conservative generally, but as I get more comfortable with the plane I'll add more maneuvers. The Avanti S is so well behaved, I'll want to add them pretty quickly.

It is a great flier. It handled the additional weight as if it wasn't there. I swapped this Tamjets TJ-80 fan/esc system from my old red Habu 32. On 8s, I would get 138 mph WOT on the Habu with this system. On the Avanti S, I am not getting anywhere near that speed. The Habu was a smaller, sleeker, and cleaner airframe. My guess is that the Avanti S presents more drag, and efforts to make it go faster will result in diminishing returns. However, if anybody wants to volunteer reasonable tips on how to improve speed on the Avanti S with this fan system, I am all ears. As a side note, I DID use an intake ring when I installed the fan.
Yeah, those Habu's ARE slippery devils...

Please note that I am not pulling 89 amps with this system on the Avanti. More like 70.

That's exactly what I'm doing since I have a Jetfan going in it when the plane arrives today. The haven't tested the Habu 32 thrust tube yet, but it measures about 425mm in length, which is likely a few inches longer than needed for the Avanti. We'll have to see though, as we may be able to adapt it if we have some room to play. The stock Habu thrust tube exit diameter is about 64mm, which should be fine for a Jetfan. With your Wemo Pro, you may be able to reduce it just a tad further without negative effects. It depends on lots of factors though, so we'll all have to do some trial and error.

Looks kind of like a ticket scalper. Someone looking to make a buck from someone that just can't wait.My YouTube Videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrz...4Q-xrOOtP2C-8w
